98  Town of Aurora

 Goal 5: Improve Walkability, Connectivity, and
 Mobility Options

 5.1 Create a Town-Wide Connectivity Plan Using Alternative Forms of Transportation
 Develop a master plan identifying priority pedestrian and bicycling routes (e.g., potential routes include
 Village border to Knox Farm, Mill Rd to 20A, Olean Rd from the Village to Lapham Rd and Emery Park, and
 other areas where there is more dense development to the Village and connecting the Town’s resources).
 Additionally, the Town should work with NFTA to determine the feasibility of developing a park-and-ride lot.

 5.2 Install Traffic Calming Measures
 Explore use of roundabouts, raised crosswalks, speed humps, signals, and signage on roads such as Mill Rd,
 Center St, and Davis Rd where speeding is chronic and where external funding is available.

 5.3 Improve Pedestrian Accessibility to Parks & Recreation
 Provide safe crossings, ADA-compliant pathways, trails, and consistent signage to link neighborhoods and
 parks (i.e. Majors, Knox Farm, and JP Nicely).

 5.4 Neighborhood Greenways / Low-Traffic Streets
 Identify local roads for reduced speed limits, shared-lane markings, and traffic calming to create safe
 “greenway” routes for walking/biking.
